We asked Julia a few questions about the upcoming Miss Louisiana Teen USA pageant that she will be competing in.

How are you feeling about the pageant now all the contestants have been announced and it’s getting closer? I’m actually super excited!!!! Everyone’s headshots are stunning and It’ll be great to see my friends from last year and meet new ones!

How has your prep been building up to Miss Louisiana USA? My pageant prep has been great and I can’t wait to take all my hard work from the past year and compete! Even though Ive been busy practicing I believe it is important to work on other parts of my life as well. I have been enjoyed working out, learning new skills like painting, enjoying the outdoors, and taking all opportunities to share my “learning difference” story.

What are you most excited about? Honestly I love talking so interview! It’s a great chance to let the judges know you and even learn about them!

Are there any sponsors/partners you want to give a shoutout to? I have been extremely lucky to have a lot of support . ALG Style, Raven Ramsey, Chloe Smikahl, The Headshots Guy, Isabella Radovan, halo boutique, Indigo Boutique, Finish Strong Fitness and Stacey Richard have all been a part of my journey. Oh and of course my awesome family!
